Mineral Testing - Assaying

Send a sample of your material, approximately 1" square,
which will be crushed and x-rayed for mineral content and analyses.
I would also send another piece that he could relate to in the description.
Send check for $30.00 to:
NMBGMR-NM Tech and write X-Ray Lab in memo area of check.

Expect approximately two or three weeks for letter of analyses
to be returned to you by mail. You might speed things up by calling
Virgil first to inform him you are sending the samples in.

We send all our rock here.

Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology Analytical Laboratory

The Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology (NBMG) Analytical Laboratory
offers a wide range of analytical services on geologic and environmental
materials. Instrumentation includes Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass
Spectrometry (ICP-MS) with laser ablation, Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
(AAS), Ion Chromatography (IC), X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF),
and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Other services include gold-silver and
platinum-group elements (PGE) using classic Fire Assay with either
gravimetric or spectroscopic finish, and major and trace element analyses
of rocks, soils, sediments, vegetation, and water. Please follow the
links to each instrument for more detailed descriptions.
